Introducing FDA-Approved Motiva Implants: Natural Feel & Advanced Safety

By Dr. Killeen, published on October 23, 2024

Motiva implants may lead to less contractures and a much thinner capsule, offering a natural feel with reduced rippling—potentially a great option for those seeking stability and comfort.

Motiva’s newly FDA-approved implants, available in round and ergonomic versions, offer unique options for a natural or fuller look, both using cohesive silicone gel. The round implant holds volume at the top, suited for those wanting a fuller appearance, while the ergonomics implant shifts naturally, giving a subtle, more natural contour when upright. These implants have a special gel-shell interaction, creating a more natural feel with reduced rippling, which is often a concern with implants. Though they appear slightly textured, the shell is technically smooth and feels soft, resembling natural tissue.
Motiva implants have been used in Europe for over 14 years without any recorded cases of a rare cancer sometimes associated with textured implants, suggesting they may cause less inflammation and result in thinner capsules with fewer contractures. For surgical options, these implants support the trend toward subfascial placements over submuscular ones, as they may reduce complications and provide stability, especially for patients at higher risk of contracture or those requiring radiation.
